She also advises new artists including Conor Maynard, Olivia Safe (opera soprano) and Jakwob (producer and DJ) on their activities in the music business.

In addition, Chloe has significant experience in relation to new media and technology developments such as mobile ringtones and the online exploitation of music in relation to which she has published articles in legal journals.
